Submerged Combustion Vaporizers

Selas Linde North America is internationally recognized for its innovative and comprehensive vaporizer systems. Our Sub-X® LNG submerged combustion vaporizers (SCVs) have been at the forefront of the LNG vaporization industry. SLNA designed and supplied the very first submerged combustion system at a peak shaving regasification terminal in Alabama in 1965. Currently, with our sister company, Selas-Linde (Europe), we have over 420 LNG vaporizers installed worldwide over the past 50+ years. Nearly all of these robust units are still in operation.

Presently, eight of the twelve base load import terminals in North America employ submerged combustion LNG vaporizers (Sub-X® SCVs). These terminals operate both multi burner and single burner units, typically rated at 100 to 186 MM SCFD (90 to 175 tons/hr) LNG vaporization. They are designed to operate 24/7 year round at nearly 100% thermal efficiency.
